It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Family Took Secret Hundreds of Millions From UAE as U.S. Approved Banned AI Tech
New reporting confirms a staggering corruption scandal at the highest level of the U.S. government.
Just days before Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, a firm backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, a UAE royal and national security chief, secretly paid at least $187 million to Trump family entities and $31 million to the family of Trump’s top Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, through a private cryptocurrency deal that was never disclosed to the public.
Within months, the Trump administration reversed U.S. national security policy and approved the export of billions of dollars’ worth of advanced AI chips to the UAE—technology the Biden administration had explicitly blocked over fears it could be diverted to China.
The sequence is now clear and documented:
* January 2025: UAE-backed firm signs a $500 million deal for a 49% stake in Trump-linked crypto company World Liberty Financial.
* Immediate payouts: $187M to Trump family, $31M to Witkoff family.
* Spring–Fall 2025: Trump White House greenlights massive AI chip sales to the UAE after years of refusal by prior administrations.
* Experts respond: Ethics lawyers call it a likely violation of the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause and warn it “looks like a bribe.”
No Republican lawmaker has called for an investigation. The Justice Department has announced no enforcement action. The White House denies any conflict, despite the money flowing first and the national security concessions following.
Democratic senators are calling it “mind-blowing corruption” and an unprecedented case of a sitting president’s family profiting directly from a foreign government while shaping U.S. policy in that government’s favor.
The bottom line is brutal and unavoidable:
A foreign government secretly paid Trump’s family hundreds of millions of dollars, and then received national-security-sensitive technology it had previously been denied.
That is not normal politics.
That is not “America First.”
That is corruption in plain sight.

I picked up my January 2026 medications yesterday. It doubled in cost. Same insurance. Same everything. This is Trump’s America. They tell you one thing but your eyes, your ears, your pocket book tell you the truth. There is no greatness. Everyday only gets worse. #trump
Jon Stewart on the ICE murder of Alex Pretti: “They’re lying. We saw it. That’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them. Maybe that explains why Alex Pretti really was a threat. Because he was brandishing a weapon. A handheld, aluminum, 1080p, 60fps weapon of mass illumination. Because there is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth”

Tapper: Those are officers being attacked on Jan 6th? By this standard, would any of those officers be justified in shooting and killing the people, causing them physical harm?
Noem: When people are physically harming them, they have the authority to arrest those individuals.
Tapper: The president pardoned every single one of them.
Noem: President Trump has been so focused on is making sure that when we're out there, we don't pick and choose which situations are in which laws are enforced and which ones aren'
Tapper: I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers. Undisputed proof, undisputed evidence. And I just said President Trump pardoned all of them. And you said that President Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. It's just not true. There's a different standard for law enforcement officials being attacked. If they're being attacked by trump supporters. We just saw that.
Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!
RETWEET if you love @BarackObama!
Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people.
The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor.
Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White House is.
